(Career Progress) Manager, Program & Operations

Civic Nation seeks a Program & Operations Manager to support a new civic leadership initiative as it launches and pilots its training program, and carries out its mission. The Program & Operations Manager is responsible for managing operational needs related to programmatic implementation, in-person and online convening needs, budget and finance tracking, resource-bank creation, and delivery for initiative participants. They will create operational infrastructure for the new initiative to build strong systems from the beginning. 

 ABOUT CIVIC NATION'S NEW INITIATIVE ON CIVIC LEADERSHIP 

Civic Nation will launch a new leadership initiative focused on building a dynamic network of local changemakers who will strengthen civic infrastructure in communities across the country.  This new program will aspire to reinvent civic life for the 21st century by cultivating the next generation of local leaders working to increase civic collaboration and engagement in their communities.  It will support and celebrate innovative, local civic engagement efforts; trains and empower leaders on the ground; and fosters a vibrant network of leaders and institutions working to reimagine how people work together to tackle challenges at the local level.  The initiative will be part of a number of initiatives at Civic Nation– a national, nonpartisan 501c3 organization with the mission to empower individuals, companies, institutions, and organizations to create a more inclusive, equitable America.

 The formation of this new leadership initiative is grounded in the belief that leadership development is the most catalytic thing we can do to affect long term change.  By investing in leadership development, this program will create a network of community leaders who bring people together and demonstrate impact around important community priorities, while also building up and investing in other leaders around them.
